My highest priority is variety. The commute is 6 miles each way. Doing the same route daily, week after week would make it a grind. So I mix it up with 3 basic routes going in, and will take any of a bunch of long routes home depending on the weather.
So going in I'm a commuter, and going home I'm a recreational cyclist enjoying a pleasant ride of up to 40 miles or so.
